“Humph!”
In the test battlefield.
Seeing the seven falling meteors, the North King snorted again.
Although the participants in this battlefield didn’t speak the same language, just like with the Battlefield of Providence, they would to some extent perceive the thoughts of their opponents.
Therefore, the North King realized that the hero was going to make her, the king, “fall”. She was infuriated, but there was nothing she could do.
She flipped her palm around, striking at the falling meteors.
Pew!
With her Yin energy, she was able to melt a meteor before it landed.
However, although she was originally a Transcendent being, the great power the meteor contained still made her pale a little.
Because she was limited by the level of the offering, she could only exert a power equivalent to the Extraordinary level.
She had no advantage over the meteor.
“The North King has made a wrong decision!” said Li Qing.
After so many battles, the core players of Dragon City had become veterans.
The onlookers immediately saw the wrong decision the North King had made. She should have chosen to transform one Water Demon at a time like what the East King had done. That way, she would have a sustainable combat ability.
Then, she would be able to withstand the attack of all seven meteors.
The Water Stopping Stone had formed quite a few Water Demons. Once it was activated, it further weakened her power.
After destroying four out of the seven meteors, the North King was noticeably exhausted.
Despite her reluctance, she had to dodge the other three.
Boom, boom, boom…
The three flaming meteors fell into the water.
Immediately, the water boiled, and the Water Demons hidden underneath screamed and ran away from the meteors.
“Damn it!” the North King bellowed. Her hands were trembling.
She regretted that she had practiced palm strikes and not some long-range weapon.
Otherwise, she could simply throw out some random weapon, and that feeble civil servant up in the air would be dead!
[“There’s a great wind. The sun sets, and soldiers rise from the water.”]
However, the hero up in the air paid no attention to her and went on chanting.
Boom! Boom!
His book lit up again.
The ten suns in the sky quickly began to sink.
In the end, they fell into the water like the seven meteors, but each of them was still giving off a tremendous amount of heat.
“Gurgle!”
Immediately after the sun went down, the water boiled, and the remaining Water Demons were no longer able to stay hidden.
They had to jump out of the water to flee.
[“There’s a great wind on the day of yin. The air turns red, and there’s fire.”]
Just when they thought that they were safe, the hero chanted again.
Splash!
His book shone again.
The blud wind above the water suddenly turned flaming red.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”
The Water Demons were cornered. They were either set on fire by the wind or boiled to death by the water.
After they were dead, they turned into dots of white light that represented the power of the Water Stopping Stone.
“Damn it!”
The North King felt miserable as well.
Because of the ten suns, the water was quickly vaporized, and the red flaming wind only accelerated the process.
The water level was dropping as she watched. Although she could use the Water Stopping Stone to force the water to stay where it was and counterbalance the attack of the sun, the red wind, and the meteors, it was obvious that she was losing her ground.
This was the first time for Dragon City since Wu Song and Lu Zhishen to have a hero that could exert a power like what they did during the summoning of a Transcendent hero.
“Who is this man? He’s so powerful!”
“The North King isn’t his match at all.”
Even the experienced core players looked surprised.
“I don’t think we can find many people on earth that can use the celestial phenomena so well.
“Together with our requirement for a Feng Shui master and the description of ‘wind’ earlier, I think it’s pretty obvious who he is,” said Guo Wei, adjusting his high-tech glasses.
“I see! It’s Li Chunfeng, isn’t it?!”
Guo Wei was still pausing for effect.
At that moment, Mister Bug ran into the sacrificial area with his Flaming Wheels and cried out excitedly. On his arm was Nezha with the Heaven and Earth Choker around his neck.
“You know who Li Chunfeng is?” Guo Wei looked a little embarrassed, but he still said curiously.
“Of course! He was so awesome!
“He was the imperial astronomer in Li Shimin’s time of the Tang Dynasty, and he was proficient in astronomy, geography, calendar, Yin Yang geomancy, and Daoist theories…” Mister Bug said matter-of-factly.
“He improved Zhang Heng’s armillary sphere and was the first ancient man to rank the wind. He has also created an equipment to detect the direction and strength of the wind!
“Obviously, that was why when the use of water was restricted, Li Chunfeng was still able to use wind alone in combat and make assaults with celestial phenomenon!
“But his greatest achievement was to create the Push Back Chart with Yuan Tian’gang, and that was the most peculiar book of the ancient time.”
Mister Bug grew excited as he spoke.
“Push Back Chart? I’ve heard of that name before, but I have no idea what it’s about. Why would you call it the most peculiar book?” Qin Yue asked curiously after hearing what Mister Bug said.
“Doesn’t that title belong to Gold Vase Plum?” another core player asked curiously.
“Well, I’ve never read it. I was just told so!”
Seeing the knowing looks other people gave him, he immediately tried to find an excuse.
“Different fields will elect different books for that title.
“In fact, the Push Back Chart is technically only the most peculiar book in terms of predicting the future. It’s not necessarily limited to the ancient time.”
That core player was saved by Elder Meng, who explained to the others what the book was about.
“Legend had it that Li Shimin had two famous Daoist priests working for him, namely, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tian’gang.
“One night, Li Chunfeng observed the sky and became enlightened when he saw the future event of Tang being replaced by Zhou. Excited, he began to predict future events with fortune-telling calculation and divination. Once he started, he didn’t want to stop, and he went as far as 2,000 years after the Tang Dynasty ended. Yuan Tian’gang gave him a push on his back at that moment and told him, ‘You’ve revealed too many of Heaven’s secrets. It’s time to take a break now.’. Only then did Li Chunfeng realize what he had done and stopped calculating.
“Afterward, the two of them recorded the predictions in the forms of poems, riddles, and pictures, which was the 60 charts of Push Back Chart.
“It accurately predicted great historical events from then on till the modern society, including Wu Zetian ascending the throne, the An Lushan-Shi Siming rebel, the rebellion led by Huang Chao, The Tumu Crisis, the establishment of Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, the WWI, etc. It even mentioned some sensitive events in the past few decades!”
